Though it seems few people here are Windows users, Windows 7 lets you directly switch to/launch apps by using WinKey + [Num], where [Num] corresponds to the app's position in the dock.
Chrome lets you do the same with tabs using Ctrl + Num.
- levesque 16y agoBut typically I have more than 10 tabs opened. Nice to know though. I'm also pleased that it is available for Windows 7, might make my whole Windows 7 experience much more smooth. Is there anything similar for Ubuntu? With cairo dock perhaps?
- nnutter 16y agoThis behavior is also true on Chrome/Firefox for Mac (s/ctrl/cmd/). Safari differs in that they correspond to bookmarks on the bookmark bar; I actually find this to be my preference.
- Groxx 16y agoOnce I learned that it works for the bookmarks, I prefer it that way too. Especially for the bookmarklets for delicious, yc (thread-collapser), and instapaper: just mash the key, and I never need to touch the track pad. On Safari+OSX, cmd-{ / cmd-} switch tabs. I'd still like a to-beginning / to-end key pair (maybe cmd-[], and reversed?), but that's pretty minor compared to not needing to navigate with a cursor.
